Marie Keane is a singer-songwriter with eclectic themes, from environmental protection (Marie's a qualified environmental scientist) to Motown influenced love tunes. For 20 years she's performed in various blues, soul and jazz ensembles. From the main stage in the Cork Jazz Festival to performing traditionally inspired tunes in the Botanical Gardens, her music crosses more than a few divides.
Her debut album ‘Russian Doll’ is a mix of folk blues and soul with subtle classical and traditional undertones. The release of Russian Doll followed on from it’s launch to a packed out Sugar Club performance of the full album in 2019. Russian Doll is available on vinyl & CD in Tower Records, selected Golden Discs stores and independent record stores in Dublin, Kildare, Athlone, Cork and Galway and record shops throughout the country, supporting Irish music.
"Shelter" is a simple lament about shining a light in dark times. Written during the height of
the lock-downs as an ode to the suffering happening around the world and the uncertainty in my own life” said Marie. “It helped to release my worry and fear”. The music video reflects its’ simplicity and features the wonderful Vyvienne Long, whose cello performance imbues a real depth of emotion to the music. Shot in the Cellar of the Workman’s Club in Dublin City Centre, the room itself captures the essence of the song’s mood and inspiration.
"Shelter" is the third single from Marie’s second album ‘MNÁ’. It offers a more serene glance into the artists more emotional perspectives and is a departure from the rest of the albums prominent soul and blues rock anthems. The album will be launched in the Workman’s Club on Sunday 26th February at 8pm, with support from Little Oak.
Marie Keane, the singer-songwriter from Greystones, Co. Wicklow, today releases the third single "Shelter" from her forthcoming album ‘MNÁ’.

The Review... "Shelter"
This is totally an amazing track. This track starts out with beautifully played cellos and piano that introduces Marie Keane singing with a songbird kind of voice, " Somewhere In The Darkness I Call..." Marie is setting the stage up for the listener to understand the sense of sadness that she feels but, there is another in her life that always comforts her in her time of need. That is something we all are looking for in life. Drums are quietly introduced along with the cello. I tell you readers this is an absolutely beautiful track.
In conclusion, This is a kind of track that leaves it up to the listener to imagine who the person could be that is the one comforting the person in need. it could be a lover or a mother.
With the richness of the cello and piano compliments Marie Keane incredible voice. subtle percussion and bass along with the cello plus the piano at the bridge is simply fantastic! You could really feel the emotions throughout this track. I truly, I can't express enough how much I enjoyed listening to Marie Keane track "Shelter". And I am sure you will enjoy it too as much as I did. Simply a brilliant track.
